Definitions
- the present invention relates to a chip structure. More particularly, the present invention relates to a chip with structural reinforcement between a bump on an under-bump metallurgy layer and a redistribution layer.
- the chip is flipped over and then attached to a substrate or a printed circuit board (PCB).
- the bonding pads are arranged in area arrays, and an under-bump-metallurgy layer and a bump such as a solder bump are sequentially formed over each of the bonding pads.
- the chip is flipped over and attached to the contacts on the surface of the substrate or a printed circuit board (PCB) via the bumps.
- the flip chip bonding technology is suitable to be used to fabricate chip packages with high pin counts. Due to the advantages of reducing package dimension and shortening signal transmission path in the package structure, the flip chip package technology has been widely adopted in the package fabrication.
- FIG. 1 is schematic cross-sectional view of a conventional chip structure.
- the chip structure 100 mainly comprises a chip 110 , a redistribution layer 120 , a passivation layer 130 and at least a bump 150 .
- the chip 110 has an active surface 112 , a passivation layer 114 and at least a bonding pad 116 .
- the passivation layer 114 and the bonding pad 116 are disposed on the active surface 112 of the chip 110 .
- the passivation layer 114 exposes the bonding pad 116 .
- the passivation layer 114 is fabricated using an inorganic compound including silicon oxide or silicon nitride, for example.
- the redistribution layer 120 is electrically connected to the bonding pad 116 .
- the passivation layer 130 is formed over the redistribution layer 120 .
- the passivation layer 130 has at least an opening 132 with sidewalls perpendicular to the active surface 112 of the chip 110 for exposing a portion of the redistribution layer 120 .
- a conventional redistribution layer 120 is a composite stack film including four metallic layers such as titanium/copper/titanium/copper.
- the redistribution layer 120 is able to serve also as an under-bump-metallurgy layer.
- the bump 150 is directly connected to the redistribution layer 120 exposed by the opening 132 . Since SnPb alloy has a better bonding properties, the bump is normally fabricated using SnPb alloy having a Sn/Pb weight ratio between 63:37 to 5:95.
- the bump 150 is connected to the redistribution layer 120 via the opening 132 in the passivation layer 130 , the probability of the flip chip cracking or peeling is high during a shearing test. In other words, the lifetime of the chip will be reduced.
- the present invention provides a chip structure capable of maintaining a strong bonding strength between a bump and the node of a redistribution layer for a prolonged period so that overall lifetime of the chip is increased.
- the chip structure comprising a chip, a redistribution layer, a second passivation layer and at least a bump.
- the chip has a first passivation layer and at least a bonding pad.
- the bonding pad is exposed by the first passivation layer, and the first passivation layer has at least a recess.
- the redistribution layer is formed over the first passivation layer and is electrically connected to the bonding pad. Furthermore, the redistribution layer extends from the bonding pad to the recess.
- the second passivation layer having an opening that exposes the redistribution layer above the recess is formed over the first passivation layer and the redistribution layer.

Description

- 1. Field of Invention
- The present invention relates to a chip structure. More particularly, the present invention relates to a chip with structural reinforcement between a bump on an under-bump metallurgy layer and a redistribution layer.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- In the flip chip package technology, the chip is flipped over and then attached to a substrate or a printed circuit board (PCB). On the active surface of the chip, the bonding pads are arranged in area arrays, and an under-bump-metallurgy layer and a bump such as a solder bump are sequentially formed over each of the bonding pads. Then, the chip is flipped over and attached to the contacts on the surface of the substrate or a printed circuit board (PCB) via the bumps. The flip chip bonding technology is suitable to be used to fabricate chip packages with high pin counts. Due to the advantages of reducing package dimension and shortening signal transmission path in the package structure, the flip chip package technology has been widely adopted in the package fabrication.
- As flip chip packages become popular, more and more products are packaged using the flip chip technique. However, changing the original chip design to fit the packaging mode is highly uneconomical. Hence, bonding pad redistribution technique has been developed to serve as a compromise to bridge the gap in this transition stage. Through a redistribution layer on the surface of a chip, the bonding pads close to the periphery region originally for bonding with bonding wires are redistributed into an array that facilitates the attachment of bumps in preparation for forming a flip chip package.
- FIG. 1 is schematic cross-sectional view of a conventional chip structure. As shown in FIG. 1, the
chip structure 100 mainly comprises achip 110, aredistribution layer 120, apassivation layer 130 and at least abump 150. Thechip 110 has anactive surface 112, apassivation layer 114 and at least abonding pad 116. Thepassivation layer 114 and thebonding pad 116 are disposed on theactive surface 112 of thechip 110. Thepassivation layer 114 exposes thebonding pad 116. Thepassivation layer 114 is fabricated using an inorganic compound including silicon oxide or silicon nitride, for example. Theredistribution layer 120 is electrically connected to thebonding pad 116. Thepassivation layer 130 is formed over theredistribution layer 120. Thepassivation layer 130 has at least anopening 132 with sidewalls perpendicular to theactive surface 112 of thechip 110 for exposing a portion of theredistribution layer 120. It should be noted that aconventional redistribution layer 120 is a composite stack film including four metallic layers such as titanium/copper/titanium/copper. Thus, theredistribution layer 120 is able to serve also as an under-bump-metallurgy layer. Thebump 150 is directly connected to theredistribution layer 120 exposed by theopening 132. Since SnPb alloy has a better bonding properties, the bump is normally fabricated using SnPb alloy having a Sn/Pb weight ratio between 63:37 to 5:95. - Because the
bump 150 is connected to theredistribution layer 120 via theopening 132 in thepassivation layer 130, the probability of the flip chip cracking or peeling is high during a shearing test. In other words, the lifetime of the chip will be reduced. - Accordingly, the present invention provides a chip structure capable of maintaining a strong bonding strength between a bump and the node of a redistribution layer for a prolonged period so that overall lifetime of the chip is increased.

The second passivation layer having an opening that exposes the redistribution layer above the recess is formed over the first passivation layer and the redistribution layer. The bump is electrically connected with the redistribution layer above the recess via the opening.
- According to the embodiment of this invention, an obtuse angle is formed between a sidewall of the recess and a bottom surface of the recess. Similarly, an obtuse angle is formed between a sidewall of the opening and a bottom surface of the opening. In addition, the chip structure of the invention further comprises at least an under-bump-metallurgy layer disposed between the exposed redistribution layer and the bump.

chip structure 200 mainly comprises achip 210, aredistribution layer 220, apassivation layer 230 and at least abump 250. Thechip 210 has anactive surface 212, apassivation layer 214 and at least abonding pad 216. Thepassivation layer 214 and thebonding pad 216 are formed on theactive surface 212 of thechip 210. Furthermore, thebonding pad 216 is exposed by thepassivation layer 214. It should be note that thepassivation layer 214 has at least arecess 218. Therecess 218 has a wide-top narrow-bottom cross-sectional profile similar to a trapezium. In other words, anobtuse angle 219 is formed between a sidewall of therecess 218 and a bottom surface of therecess 218. - In this embodiment, the
chip 210 is fabricated using a semiconductor material including silicon or germanium, for example. Thepassivation layer 214 is fabricated using a material including, for example, silicon oxide, silicon nitride or phosphosilicate glass (PSG). Thepassivation layer 214 is a composite stack film including alternately stacked layers of the aforementioned inorganic compound. Thebonding pad 216 is fabricated using a metallic material such as aluminum or copper. - The
redistribution layer 220 is formed over thepassivation layer 214 and is electrically connected to thebonding pad 216. Furthermore, theredistribution layer 220 extends from thebonding pad 216 to therecess 218. A portion of theredistribution layer 220 is located over thepassivation layer 214 above therecess 218. As shown in FIG. 3, theredistribution layer 220 is a composite stack film including threemetallic layers metallic layer 221 is formed over thepassivation layer 214. Themetallic layer 223 is formed over themetallic layer 221 and themetallic layer 225 is formed over themetallic layer 223. It should be noted that themetallic layer 221 is fabricated using aluminum, titanium, titanium-tungsten alloy, tantalum, tantalum nitride or chromium, for example.

passivation layer 230 having anopening 232 is formed over thepassivation layer 214 and theredistribution layer 220. A portion of theredistribution layer 220 above therecess 218 is exposed by theopening 232. Furthermore, theopening 232 has a top-wide, bottom-narrow cross-section similar to a trapezium. In other words, anobtuse angle 319 is formed between a sidewall of theopening 232 and a bottom surface of theopening 232. - The
bump 250 is disposed over theredistribution layer 220 exposed by theopening 232 of thepassivation layer 230. Thebump 250 is electrically connected to theredistribution layer 220 above therecess 218. Thebump 250 is fabricated using material such as Sn-Pb alloy with a Sn/Pb weight ratio of 63% to 37% or a Sn/Pb ratio of 5% to 95% or a composite bump with different Sn/Pb weight ratio. Through the profile andangle 219 of therecess 218, the bonding strength between theredistribution layer 220 and thebump 250 is strengthened. - Aside from connecting the
bump 250 directly to theredistribution layer 220 exposed by theopening 232, an additional under-bump-metallurgy layer 240 may be formed between theredistribution layer 220 and thebump 250 to increase their bonding strength even further. The following describes in more detail the structural relationship and connection of the under-bump-metallurgy layer 240 with its neighboring layers. - As shown in FIG. 2, an under-bump-
metallurgy layer 240 may optionally be disposed on a portion of thepassivation layer 230 and theredistribution layer 220 exposed by theopening 232 of thepassivation layer 230. In the chip structure, the under-bump-metallurgy layer 240 is preferably disposed between theredistribution layer 220 and thebump 250. The under-bump-metallurgy layer 240 is a composite stack film including threemetallic layers metallic layer 242 is formed over theredistribution layer 220 exposed by theopening 232. Themetallic layer 244 is formed over themetallic layer 242 and themetallic layer 246 is formed over themetallic layer 244.

Themetallic layer 244 serves to prevent possible migration of tin from thebump 250 and cause unwanted structure damage or signal transmission degradation. Themetallic layer 246 serves to increase the adhesive strength between the under-bump-metallurgy layer 240 and thebump 250 so that thebump 250 can easily adhere to the under-bump-metallurgy layer 240, for example. - In addition, an
electroplated layer 248 is also formed over themetallic layer 246. The electroplatedlayer 248 is formed between the thirdmetallic layer 246 and thebump 250, for example. It should be noted that the metallic layer 222 is fabricated using aluminum, titanium, titanium-tungsten alloy, titanium nitride, tantalum, tantalum nitride or chromium, for example.

The electroplatedlayer 248 is an electroplated copper layer, an electroplated, an electroless nickel layer, an electroless plated gold layer or combination thereof. - The aforementioned structure is constructed using a redistribution layer with three metallic layers and an under-bump-metallurgy layer with four metallic layers.

metallurgy layer 240 is formed over theredistribution layer 220 exposed by theopening 232 of thepassivation layer 230, thebump 250 is connected to theredistribution layer 220 above therecess 218 via the under-bump-metallurgy layer 240. Hence, thebump 250 on the under-bump-metallurgy layer 240 has a better structural strength. The higher structural strength prevents thebump 250 from cracking or peeling during the under-bump-metallurgy layer and leads to a longer lifetime for the chip structure. - FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a chip structure according to another embodiment of this invention.
